(NASDAQ: ADSK) today announced the early release of the BIM 360 Assets module within Autodesk Construction Cloud. The BIM 360 Assets module enables construction teams to track and manage project assets through the entire building lifecycle - from design through handover - from one centralized location. The new module also gives construction teams increased access to asset data in the field, allowing them to perform commissioning and resolve defects on-site, decreasing the time to operations and ultimately reducing risk. The new BIM 360 Asset module will be included as part of BIM 360 Build subscriptions and generally available starting in mid-June.\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \nBIM 360 Assets can easily track all construction assets such as materials (concrete, wood, drywall), components and equipment (air handling units, pumps, chillers, elevators), moveable equipment (forklift, excavator, concrete buckets) and rooms or areas. \n\"With the BIM 360 Assets module, we'll be able to deliver a complete and fully linked archive of all construction assets, streamlining the handover process from construction to operations,\" said Simon Terroitin, BIM coordinator at EBC, Inc. \"BIM 360 Assets will allow us to better collaborate with our clients during site construction and give them exactly what they need right after construction completes. We see this having a significant impact on building client relationships and winning future business.\"\n\"The world in which we live today underscores the importance of resiliency, including project and data continuity,\" said Sameer Merchant, head of research and development for Autodesk Construction Solutions and associate vice president at Autodesk. \"For project owners and contractors, this means spreadsheet-based asset tracking must evolve into a single source of truth for all assets, accessible by all teams at any time. BIM 360 Assets will improve both day-to-day workflow and handover, and subsequently become a part of any successful company's future resiliency program. This is yet another way Autodesk Construction Cloud is helping construction teams effic...
